The current definition of PFAS adopted by regulatory agencies such as EPA fails to encompass compounds that pose serious ...

Elevated levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” may be associated with metabolic disruptions potentially leading to type 2 diabetes.

Short-chain PFAS, some of which can be toxic at low doses, are becoming more prevalent as many manufacturers use them as a replacement for the long-chain compounds.

Getting rid of the “forever chemical” Trifluoroacetic acid, or TFA, found in everything from drinking water to human blood, ...

A new study from the University of Rochester finds that developmental exposure to a type of “forever chemical” known as PFHxA ...

Surface Active Foam Fractionation® (SAFF®) Technology Now Capable of Removing Short Chain Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) May 16, 2022 09:01 AM Eastern Daylight Time ...

While manufacturers of these short-chain PFAS food contact substances have agreed to stop selling food packaging with these short-chain PFAS substances for use in the U.S., their customers are ...

For example, alternatives like short-chain PFAS are being explored, as they tend to persist less in the environment and accumulate less in biological systems," Atilla-Gokcumen explains.

Su noted that kinship is not the sole obstacle. “ The lengths of short-chain PFAS molecules vary, giving them different physical properties. This means we need to be able to tune the electrode just ...

The high current densities enable the destruction of short-chain PFAS, where other electro-oxidation technologies may struggle. The technology delivered by this collaboration is the only ...
